 Verse 1:

                   Eb
         Well, she got her daddy's car
                                                Ab
         And she cruised through the hamburger stand, now
                      Eb
         Seems she forgot all about the library
                               Bb [2, 3: harmonies imply Bb7]
         Like she told her old man, now
                       Eb
         And with the radio blastin' goes
                                      Ab
         Cruisin' just as fast as she can, now

 Chorus 1:

                         Eb        Gm
         And she'll have fun, fun, fun
                  Ab              Bb
         'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away
          Eb        Ab            Gm       [1, 3: Bb  2, 4: F]
         (Fun, fun, fun, 'til her daddy takes the T-bird away)

 Verse 2:

         Well, the girls can't stand her
         'Cause she walks, looks, and drives like an ace, now
         (You walk like an ace, now, you walk like an ace)
         She makes the Indy 500 look like
         The Roman chariot race, now
         (You look like an ace, now, you look like an ace)
         A lot of guys try to catch her
         But she leads 'em on a wild goose chase, now
         (You drive like an ace, now, you drive like an ace)

 [repeat chorus]

         Bb                F        Bb
         / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

 Verse 3:

         Well, you knew all along
         That your dad was gettin' wise to you, now
         (You shouldn't-a lied, now, you shouldn't-a lied)
         And since he took your set of keys
         You been thinkin' that your fun is all through now
         (You shouldn't-a lied, now, you shouldn't-a lied)
         But you can come along with me
         'Cause we got a lot of things to do now
         (You shouldn't-a lied, now, you shouldn't-a lied)

 Chorus 2 [2X]:

         And we'll have fun, fun, fun
         Now that Daddy took the T-bird away
         (Fun, fun, fun, now that Daddy took the T-bird away)

 Coda [repeat to fade]:

         Bb                                            Eb
         Fun, fun, fun now that Daddy took the T-bird away
                                           Ab [harmonies imply Ab9]
         Fun, fun, now that Daddy took the T-bird away
